Midway Rentals and Sales Donates to Hockey Auction – NMU Defeats LSSU

Marquette, MI – March 4, 2013 – Northern Michigan University is the heart beat of Marquette, Michigan. The hockey team rules the winter here and rightfully so.

During this past weekends games, many items were donated for the silent auction by local businesses including boots, spa packages, hockey jerseys, grocery store certificates, and a $500 gift certificate towards any rental at Midway Rentals and Sales.

This was an annual donation from Joe at Midway Rentals and Sales. Midway strongly believes in our community and supports local sports.

Regular season play came to an end and the wildcat celebration was heard throughout the Berry Events Center.

Fridays game ended 3-1 with Northern Michigan University Wildcats victorious over U.P. rival Lake Superior State University Lakers. NMU only one goal scored (by Reed Seckel) before the third period. The game ended strong with 2 goals (by Erik Higby and Matt Thurber) for Northern Michigan University and one goal (by Bryce Schmitt) for Lake Superior State University.

Fridays game was not only a successful win over Lake Superior State University, but also a huge success for the hockey team’s silent auction. After the first break almost every items sheet had an auction number on it and many had healthy rivalry.

After this weekend, Northern Michigan University is seeded 10th in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. Lake Superior State University is the 8th seed. Lake Superior State University also won the Cappo Cup defeating the Wildcats 3 out of 4 games this season.

A huge thanks to Midway Rentals and Sales for being community partners and NMU Hockey Fans!
